Created attachment 271445 [details, diff] Patch to document the procedures to add a news item (glep 42) The only reference I could find on adding news items came from Fauli's blog post: http://www.faulhammer.org/archiv-mainmenu-31/35-gentoo/282-writing-a-news-item I mostly stole what he wrote and tried to hack up a devmanual change to add this. I'm hoping he does not mind, I did email him.
Some minor points: > News Items can be read using the eselect command. More information on use of > this tool to read or delete news items can be found on the eselect man page. news.eselect has its own man page, which might be more helpful than the general eselect one. > (all letters In fact, lowercase letters only. > and numbers allowed, plus dash and underscore) The word "plus" looks like a conjuction here. Maybe write "plus sign" instead? (You'll find the allowed characters in the pre-commit hook of the gentoo-news repository: a-z, 0-9, + (plus), - (hyphen) and _ (underscore)).

I applied it to devmanual. But next time you may want to create a patch in git-format and get all the credits in the commit message :)
